Answer 1

Answer:

196*********************

Answer 2

Answer:

The next number of the series is 287

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided series.

7,23, 47, 119, 167, _________

In order to find the next term of the series observe the pattern as shown below:

7 = 9 - 2 = 3² - 2

23 = 25 - 2 = 5² - 2

47 = 49 - 2 = 7² - 2

119 = 121 - 2 = 11² - 2

167 = 169 - 2 = 13² - 2

Square the next prime number and subtract 2 from it.

17² - 2 = 289 - 2 = 287

Hence, the next number of the series is 287
